**Looking for answers as to what happened in Jewish history on this date. It can include both positive and negative occurrences. It can also include birthdays or Yarzheits of well known personalities that happened on this date.

Just to clarify, R'Jeremy: You have no reason to think the sixth of Teves is the date on which Jesus was born: you're merely saying it's as likely a date as any other on the calendar? In other words, this answer is, as far as you know, as appropriate for any "History of [date]" question as it is for this one?

well, not just as likely. I assume that 6 Teves never coincides with July 4, but does occasionally coincide with Dec 25. I really should have saide "6 Teves is as likely as any other overlapping date"
